Dolly Parton’s iconic image is recognized worldwide. Known for her glamorous appearance and unique sense of style, she never fails to impress. In a recent interview with RuPaul, they both discussed the effort they put into maintaining their carefully crafted looks. While Parton dazzles in glittering outfits, complete with high heels and a wig, RuPaul is fashion-forward both in and out of drag.

But there’s one key difference between the two. RuPaul gets to take off all the glam at the end of the day, while Parton is always dressed to the nines. In a playful conversation with Parton for Marie Claire, RuPaul asked if she wears high heels even while making breakfast. Parton’s response shed light on why she always stays glammed up.

“I have to be ambulance-ready at all times, if I get sick or something,” Parton explained.

Her dedication to her appearance goes beyond vanity. Parton believes in being prepared for any situation, even in emergencies like earthquakes. She wants to be “street ready” at all times, so she doesn’t get caught off guard. While RuPaul takes off his drag persona, Parton maintains her makeup and hair, always ensuring that she looks her best.

“But I actually do wear high heels most of the time,” Parton admitted. “Not as high as the ones I wear for show, but I’m little and have to wear heels to reach my cabinets. I also feel more like myself when I’m all dolled up. But don’t get me wrong, I can still be down-to-earth and comfortable in my own skin. I dress up for myself more than anyone else.”

Parton’s commitment to looking good at all times stems from her desire to present herself in the best possible light. She appreciates her fans and wants to maintain her carefully crafted image, even in unexpected situations. It’s not just about vanity; it’s about feeling comfortable and true to herself.

So, let’s applaud Dolly Parton for always being glamorous and always being prepared, no matter what life throws her way.
